May 15, 2015 — North Bay, Ontario — Industry Canada/FedNor
MP Jay Aspin (Nipissing—Timiskaming), on behalf of the Honourable Greg Rickford, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario (FedNor), announced today an investment to support jobs, growth and prosperity in the City of North Bay and across the region.
A FedNor investment of $300,000 will enable the City of North Bay to complete an engineering study and environmental assessment to construct a new multi-use pier at the North Bay waterfront, one of the community's premiere tourism attractions. Once complete, this strategic investment will pave the way for the city to establish an enhanced, central waterfront area that will boost tourism throughout the area, support jobs and create new business development opportunities.
